How to Become a Digital Nomad in 2024 - The Easy Way

[@hillys-cleaning-services9518]

I feel like this guy has just given me a wake up call ! Its so honest and upfront... thanks you mate

[@tinglestingles]

I really wish I had all the advantages when I was 20 years old - about 40 years ago! I recently got into selling digital products online and also part-time 1-2-1 coaching - I really enjoy it and getting my residency, outside my home country, on the back of the lifestyle and income. I'm happy!

[@touringthecitywalking9209]

I am also 64 years, a Canadian citizen with an Indian background. Recently I perfected my 100% online business/income and very much love to move out of Canada as I am fed up with the lonely life here. I have some questions and like to know the answers to them. Could you please help me in answering them? I feel like you may be the right person for that because you are more or less my age. Thank you, sir, and hope to get your reply. Take care.

So important to listen to feedback, rather than get defensive if it's not what you expected. Look at it as a great opportunity - free focus group feedback. Find out what people want and give it to them. Brilliant. You're a good mentor.

Hi, Brett I just want to tell you this video was really helpful . My plan is to move to Thailand when I collect SS and become a digital nomad im just starting to figure out things and word for word you mentioned all the things I was thinking. And I think you saved me from doing all those bad ideas that you said in this video. I was thinking of learning code but thats not what I want to do after watching this video and dont get me wrong its a good thing. I would have wasted my time. I was always a good sales men at heart although I worked labor most of my entire life. But I did have a few sales gigs which I was really good at selling some products and even some people. I worked at a very high end employment agency in Manhattan. Sales come easy to me im very outgoing not afraid to talk to anyone about anything. And I've have a little experience in funnels and I like web design, I use to set up a large display in the produce market and I enjoyed the creativity in doing that. Anyway I just wanted to thank you so much for clearing my head.😊. I dont know if you'll even see this the video is a yr old but would love to know if your still a digital nomad and I guess I'll find out when I join your group. Looking forward to talking with you.

The part about focusing on one problem is pure gold. Subscribed.

[@stephenpavy2501]

Step 6 is a important one.. To become a digital worker first then the nomad part comes after a year or a few years gaining experience and client base. I was a digital "remote worker" years before when I then realised I could become a "nomad", then with a regular client base the travel part becomes easier when you do get around to do it, because the marketing and finding clients is not a task you have to do while enjoying the nomad part.

Thank you, Brett. You are a star. I'm already up and running and working on packaging.

[@MAureliusHiggs]

Great video again Brett. To add one small thing I didn't hear you mention that I think is actually step 1. "Figure out which audience you want to serve." Three things in figuring this out, 1. Serve an audience that you actually enjoy being with and engaging with. 2. Serve an audience that would be able to financially compensate you for your value added. And 3. Serve an audience that actually has a problem worth solving. THEN...as you say, what do you want to do and why, define the problem...and so on and so on. Again, thanks for the great video. Keep it up.

Hi Brett, The second video of yours I am watching! Was browsing KZbin to find info about living in Thailand, and there we go, listening about starting a business, haha. What you mentioned here not only does apply to online businesses but also, I feel these are the key elements to starting any kind of business for a self-employed person, freelancer, etc. I really like your genuine tone!

[@jeffbrunswick5511]

I've worked in three start-ups now and everything Brett is saying, is 100% correct. I'm from a research and development background, so it is natural for me to try and innovate, but this is a bad idea in a start-up. It's much better to create a viable business model and then innovate.

[@mtsutphin3468]

Okay Brett. I’m in 100%. I’m getting out of the States for good.

i would love to go to other countries and do tourist photography or something and make enough to get me along while traveling. I still want to see the world before settling down. When i first went traveling i was terrified of getting on the plane. Small baby steps are life changing. Fear is in our minds but money is still a thing sadly.

[@colinb8512]

Hi Brett, I just discovered your channel when I found your video "Living in Thailand is not What You Think it's Like..." That was of particular interest to me & I'll leave a comment/question there for that video. I have a question about this video; With my current interest in Thailand, I've heard that the Thai Government is clamping down on Digital Nomads living in Thailand (I can't give any specifics off the top of my head, it's more of a comment I've seen in passing). Do you know anything about that? I'm not a Digital Nomad, nor doing any work in the digital field currently. My interest is coming more from an interest of thinking seriously about life, long term in Thailand and possible income sources in the near future, which I'll not expand on in public comments. Thanks for your videos, which, I've found very interesting, honest and realistic so far and look forward to watching more of.

[@longgowhereto]

I do not know what a DN is and Dropshipper (did I get that right?) I never heard before. You have sent me here from another vid and you explain well (I guess). But I would not even know, if I have ever met a DN or Dropshipper - I do not know what that shall be. To me it feels like a bubble as I here DN every day and that would be a sign to short it. A non digital nomad - is that an analog one then? To waiter in summer in Spain and in winter in Austria makes one a nomad. But these days service jobs are out and digitals are in. What is that?

Again spot on, Brett! However, the term "Digital Nomad" needs a revamp in perception. Nowadays, there are so many ways of being online or being digital. Being a nomad is, in many ways, no longer necessarily related to working online or digital, for that matter.

Maybe a little off topic, but I was wondering how do you know that your business is a success/successful digital nomad? Is it a certain amount of revenue made, a number of clients, or making more than you spend in thailand etc....

Success is in the 'eye of the beholder' - I guess it really depends on your own goals?

Successful is when you can afford to live/save and not worry about a day job anymore

Gidday Brett..Phil from Australia here...I'm paranoid about Karaoke and roosters and dogs barking after living in Philippines...is it better there?

[@thephilippinesforus]

Kareoke is the absolute worst. I have been to Thailand three times, for a total of 5 months. I never had an issue with kareoke but I never lived very local. Always a high rise condo or hotel. The street dogs however.. I was chased a couple of times but no noise disturbances to mention. 👍Hope this helps.

[@binghermes]

@@thephilippinesforus A way to stop stray dogs (especially those from your neighborhood) from chasing you is to feed them something. Once they become friends with you, they will stop barking at you

[@e49grafix]

very good advice m8t

[@myhandy21]

Great Video, But I have a question, You called some of online skills, like SEO , service provider and web design. Aren't those programming skills in your opinion? Thanks

[@dvekmt]

These are not considered programming skills, web design for example can be learned using design tools like figma, sketch, etc. where you are just designing the actual “look” of the website, not the coding part, you’d then hand over your design to an actual programmer. There are workarounds like wordpress e.g. that will enable you to do both fairly easily. Providing a service could be anything from making small edits to a website to writing content for people or even taking pictures. SEO is optimising a web presence like websites or sales funnels for the world to actually find your content on google e.g., so again no programming skills needed here as well. Pretty doable with wordpress too. Hope that helps 😅
